Conversion to 4x4???

Ok, I have a 72 short step side. If I was wanting to put the body on a 4x4 frame, what would be the best candidate? I like straight axel and think the price for a 73-87 4x4 would be cheap. I think the wheel base is only about 2 inches off.

Any input on this one?

Thank you in advance.

I hate to be crass, but good grief. If you take a little bit of time and search, you'll find about 200 threads on the same subject. There is a ton of information on this website
